Yes, Black has checkmated White in your game. 

Game Courier cannot detect mate. Adding this ability would greatly
increase the overhead of the program, because it would have to consider
all possible moves, and it would have to check the legality of each one.
What Game Courier does do is check whether the single move someone tries
to make is legal. Once a player is checkmated, he will find that any and
every move he tries to make will be illegal.

When you checkmated your opponent, you should have changed the status of
your game from 'Ongoing' to 'Steve Jones has won.' Since you didn't,
I have now done it for you.
